Apixator 2.5 mg Tablet 10's
Apixator 2.5 mg Tablet 10's
Apixator 2.5 mg Tablet 10's

Apixator 2.5 mg Tablet is used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung). Additionally, it is used to prevent blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). It contains Apixaban, which works by inhibiting the action of blood clotting factor and prevents the conversion of fibrinogen (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein). Thus, it helps in preventing blood clot formation. Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, anaemia (lack of blood), and unusual bleeding, including swelling and bruising. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

  • If you experience low blood pressure symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting while taking medication, seek immediate medical attention.
  • Make lifestyle modifications and adjust your medication regimen under medical guidance to manage low blood pressure.

Health Queries

Can I take Rifagut 550 for IBS-D while I am already taking Apixator 2.5?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

Yes, you can usually take Rifagut 550 (Rifaximin) for IBS-D (irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea) while on Apixator 2.5 (Apixaban), as Rifaximin works mainly in the gut and is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream. There is no known interaction between the two medicines. However, since Apixaban is a blood thinner, it is important to use any additional medication under medical supervision. Please consult your doctor before starting Rifaximin to ensure it is appropriate for your condition.
